Maybe drink less caffeine?
My medications made changed my taste buds around and so i hate the taste of any sodas. I know sodas are loaded with sodium and super bad for your health. My last doctor was a jerk and never believed i never drank anything but water and she kept telling me it was bad for my kidneys and heart. I'm not sure what coffee exactly does but i stay away from it all. It never helped with my fatigue anyway. Vitamin B12 helps me, but ask your doctor about that because you don't want to just start stuff without knowing if there if it could affect your other medications.

What steve.b says makes sense. I find with my lupus there is a cost with any activity. So it makes sense to me that if I were altering what my body requires (sleep or rest), then I would need additional downtime, or rest & that can throw off my schedule and cause havoc.

Caffine has never affected me so I suppose I'm lucky I never "used" coffee or soda. I do tend to drink soda and then have to "quit" it and get the nasty withdrawl headache... (Going through that now.)
